Sorry if this was discussed before in the past but I just came across this article with an interesting quote from DJ. I remember the team saying they would back up Blake, but I really have yet to see DJ or anyone else really do anything. I'm not saying to start a brawl or anything, but seems like this was all talk.

Indiana head coach Frank Vogel said with a laugh Wednesday. "We all know Blake gets more hard fouls than anybody in the league. But there's a reason for that. The guys that are guarding him don't want to get dunked on and end up on SportsCenter."

I'm surprised they got a comment out of frank vogel.. nevertheless a good article

Here's some recent articles that may provide insight on why Blake Griffin seems to be a target of NBA opponents and his seemingly passive response to their attacks:

Since I haven't posted the requisite 95 messages, I am not allowed to post URLs, but these should be easily searchable. ....

Here's an update since you've been gone: that guy's a troll. Don't feed it!

IGNORE HIM.

When D. Howard was with the Magic I thought that he was mauled more than any other player in NBA history. (Shaq a close second) Since I've become a huge Clipper fan(because of JJ)Blake Just gets the .... Beat out of him almost every game! I don't know why the league allows this to happen? Maybe They just pick a player every so often to let everybody beat up on for entertainment sakes.

I think Blake gets hit. I don't think I know he does. He gets hit more than those softies in and from OKC in James Harden and Kevin Durant

Yeah, but I don't think LeBron gets half as much as Blake. He called his and one on a drive against Lance and he wasn't even touched. How are going to call your own game? and worse how are the refs going to go with it?

Maybe Blake should start using that tactic, after the contact stop look at the ref and call the foul yourself (just kidding please just play the game and let the refs make the terrible calls on their own).
